I was born in the late 70’s , raised in a JLP community, was a seaga supporter myself, but as I grew up and started to learn about economics & current affairs I realize that this man had the right ideas for Jamaica, if we gave him a chance Jamaican would be a better place today. I must apologize to “The right honorable MR. MICHAEL MANDLEY the greatest leader Jamaica will ever see . RIP SIR
A great and forward thinking leader. Jamaica wasted a great opportunity when they were able to uplift this great leader. As the saying goes Sir Michael must be turning over in his grave at tbe state of affairs in Jamaica today.
Cow never know the use of its tail until he needs it to fan fly Jamaica had a great leader but they hated him RIP The RT Hon Michael Norman Manley💜💜🌈God put a rainbow in the sky
@@elainestewart1494 Well said. They were blinded by handouts and crabs in barrels mentally. A GREAT man he was. If some had use their brains instead of stretching their hands out.. where would be today? Imagine that
I back you millions trillions time on that I grow in a JLP community I used to think the same in my mid teens I start more about history and I really I was mis led Michael I miss you likewise the older folks of jamaica that why they say jamaica is a PNP ISLAND but with a very good leader like Thomas sangkara it have to be a PNP country back then not now is pure idiot from Michael leave office with no apology about that
Brilliant just brilliant, well spoken, what a bright man, a true leader, a man that stuck to morality and in politics mortality has a mind of its own, i am trinidadian 🇹🇹, sleep well Micheal, you toiled while you were awake
As I have grown older and gotten more perspective I have come to realise how brilliant a mind Michael Manley was.Comparable to any scholar in the world.I will always support the world view of Michael Manley.He was definately a man before his time but a great man anyway.I could listen to this man all day.Love this guy no apology.
Such a brilliant speaker. He was a champion for Jamaica and l still miss hearing him speak. He went out too soon. Sleep good my Jamaican pioneer sleep good.
Michael Manley never fails The people of Jamaica failed Seaga the cia and the Jamaica Labour Party Destroy Jamaica With guns crime and violence and rumoured Michael Manley is one of the greatest leader The world ever seen Michael Manley loves Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean people so much But the adds was against him One love Joshua
So true.. Michael was so dedicated to Jamaica.. and tried his best for the country to be as self sufficient as possible. But the Opposition brain washed people 's mind regarding to communism
Michael Manley did not let down Jamaica; Jamaica let down Michael Manley. Jamaica is still importing farm produce that it should be exporting. If it had followed Manley's policies, the country would be now on sound footing.
@@neilnelmar8007 you should be aware if our agricultural sector had been allowed to sufficiently grow we would at some point modernize to to efficiently produce and would therefore be more competitive.
Also with in his own party. His biggest opposition was the people in his party who wanted to move more to the left … listen to his ex- wife’s interview… DK & Beverly opposed him violently.
Never doubted the intellect, wisdom, frankness of this great Jamaican - not to mention his dad. Apples don't fall far from it's tree as they say I suppose. I believe that overall, there seemed more genuine Nationalist pride and care for the good governance of Jamaica then than now. #justSaying
i personally met him every morning in jogging along the water reservoir with his security guards . he was always courteous and looked very healthy athletic built. at the end of the daily exercise he used to hold chitchat conversations and i found him quite a pleasant person with wide political views than others. he was well educated and good orator. jamaica is a small country with vicious political culture that created an enormous enmity but Jamaicans are the most friendly and loving people . economic development and political 'mismanagement caused Jamaica to fall
Micheal was a visionary his methods were direct and his good was destroyed by his time and bad mind slave drivers in Jamaica it only takes a few but his legacy's live every day in the life of every person on this Earth from Jamaica to Washington
This man was and still the greatest leader Jamaica has ever had, nobody else has ever get even close to his kind of leadership skills and patriotism,all hail to the king 🤴 rest in power my king.
A true Jamaican with a deep love for his country and countrymen. Jamaica will never see the likes of this great man...NEVER!!! He was surely ahead of his time...great speaker and intellect. His vision for Jamaica was sound...yes I do remember the hard times of the 70s...and yes mistakes were made...however there were strong and evil forces that further place Jamaica in turmoil. Sweet sleep Jamaica's best and most caring PM we will ever see😇
Micheal you were a good man in a difficult time like no other and i personally understand your struggle to defend that which was morally right and for that it cost you and us the economy of jamaica and it has left us to wonder if it perhaps it qould have been better to defend our bellies rater than our moral values and justice for those who dispute if indeed your leadership did us right. Whatever the verdict is jamaicans on a whole would like ro say we love you for ever , you were a beautiful person towards the humanity of the poor and less fortunate.
Trying to figure out when this interview was done, because Michael Manley predicted what Trump just did with NAFTA, This man was a Genius. Jamaicans really missed an opportunity when they turned against him.
Absolutely have always believed in mr Manley political beliefs he was way ahead of the game and absolutely agrees Jamaica’s I’ve missed out and a massive massive opportunity when this man was the leader big shame absolute big shame it’s turned against him always have a massive love and respect for him and his beautiful wife Beverly and they’re married absolutely adore them sad you know it’s gone and Beverly is not so much in politics anymore but so happy to see this interview.
If words of commendation could have brought u back to life undoubtedly he Mr Manley would have been here with us, he was and still loved by both sides of the parties...We can only cherish is ideals and work he left behind.
There is an inordinate amount of chatter here on Socialism and communism, it would be wise if people take the time educate themselves on the true concept of each and alas...take some time and LISTEN WELL, Michael Manley was never a communist nor a socialist. in his lifetime he went to great pains to explain his philosophy of Democratic Socialism which is technically an amalgam of socioeconomic empowerment of the masses executed in a democratic framework. This man had the trappings that could have lead him to pursue the usual elite bourgeoisie oppression of the poor and vulnerable among us, yet he choose to sacrifice his own class interest in defense of the downtrodden. I yearn for the day when the masses of Jamaicans literacy and political analytical understanding of what Michael Manley's profound dedication and vision was about for his people and to the very end of his life was a journey of ultimate selflessness to this nation and to the oppressed masses in every corner of the earth.
Jamaica didn’t really go against Manley we went into self preservation mode that we learn in slavery. We slathered the one to save the whole are so we think at the time. We actually slathered the whole to save the one which was ourselves. We thought we were giving them Michael to save Jamaica but what we really did was give up Jamaica to save ourselves.
i love mr Michael Manley, I wish he was still alive I wish, mr Michael Manley he’s a real Jamaica 🇯🇲 born citizens yes he’s 🇯🇲born citizens off Jamaica 🇯🇲 I love him i wish he was still here
Nothing don't change bossy. Same thing is happening on here Sir Mike. And it's working I thought in 2019 we would have had enough history n never be hoodwinked in this fashion again but unfortunately once again here we go again
The whole fact about Cuba at pointing time, that when Jamaica was very back in the early 1900. After the Panama canal they went to Cuba after the canal was finished, even the great George Headley was living there with his parents. Headley was born in Panama country of a Jamaican mother, and a Barbados father. After the works done in Panama,his parents took him to Cuba,but his saying he was learning too much Spanish, although he was born in a Spanish speaking country. His parents sent him to Jamaica to his mother Aunt in RaeTown In Kingston.Also Jamaica is only 70 miles to Cuba,if you go to certain point in Jamaica like in St,Ann. You could go to the Ridge property, and used a binoculars and sees Cuba quite easily. I read in the geography that Westmoreland is the nearest point to Cuba, maybe to a certain areas in Cuba. Because Cuba is 8•5 times bigger than Jamaica,but I know of a fact that. At one time when I was a young boy grew up, when people stowaway from Cuba,they useto end up in Discovery Bay St,Ann. There was a guy who useto be living in a district named Old Folly , also the same areas which classified as Discovery Bay within walking distance. The police always sent for the little man by the name of Claudy Scarlett , otherwise we useto called him. Claudy whitesocks,or miss Madge matress,he was living in Cuba for a while and learned a little Spanish. So he was the translator for the police back in those days,I knew a few living in nearby districts in St, they are from Cuba. Because their parents went there is Batista days, before Fidel Castro overthrow him.At that time it was a democratic country, so what Joshua the Rt Hon Michael Manley was saying he was right as a book, how the hell could you vexed. With your closest neighbor towards you, and you mad with him. Because certain country or countries say so,it is really crazy, and at. The same time as what Manley was saying, that China also other countries were communist too, and. The united States also other countries is trading with them, and the same time you are against Cuba.Joshua is Jamaica best PM ever, Which brought the country to a new level of life for poor people.

A true leader d best Ja LL ever c in a long time to come d only leader who had d people in mind and who ment well for Ja but Ja let him down when they believed d lie's from Eddie and the wickest place on earth USA long live viva Michael Manley a luta continua
If every prime minister was like Michael manley what a Jamaica we would have.jamaica is a rich country but no one to manage it ,we have every thing here so many fruits here but them just go to waste.
Politics have come a far way and every one has played their part and is to be commended but being a great scholar, bright and know history doesnt always let them make the right choice, look where we are today after such briliant speech, as Manley said in first interview if he knew then what he knew now doing this interview, so saying that it says that he ddnt do something right but yes he was a great.leader in his time like all the others who have passed. I dont like politics and religion because everyone think they are right. Jamaica land we love
You people miss the interview we are so bitter michael Manley could not be so close with cuba and get away America would make us suffer we cant beat America srop uno talking and learn smh
Hypocrisy and morality doesn’t count in the global game of power and money. Those are niceties that move no one in Washington, DC, Mr. Prime Minister, and calling them out for it. Is an exercise in futility. Jamaicans are just too naive.
Michael Manley was ahead of his time! A visionary and an intellect of the highest order! The greatest leader of our country! Heralded the success of many even those who are not even sighted enough to make the connection. But for the Cold War, the CIA and their operatives, Jamaica's progress would have been much more advanced!!!! Always proud of the legacy both nationally and internationally of great Jamaican icon!!!👏👏👏
Manley did not let down Jamaica, Jamaicans let down Michael Manley, he had plan, when he saw that so many people couldn't read he launch the Jamal Program all over the Island to make sure everyone had the opportunity, he was always fighting for social justice for the people, you have never seen so many houses built by another party, under Michael Manley government along with Tony Spaulding the ministry of housing with the Matalon and Gore houses were been built everywhere even people selling on the streets could afford a nice two bedroom apartment in Tavares Garden; I was living in one, then a few years later lived in Braeton,. in Port more ,most people in the poorer class and the middle class who own a house or two got it under Tony Spaulding,, and other PNP housing minister, and I don't see anyone putting Tony Spaulding name on anything. The man who has done so much for housing.
He did not cause people to leave Jamaica. Seaga conspired with the United States and the CIA to destroy the Jamaican economy because they branded Michael a communist for his policies and relationship with Cuba. Do you remember when Nixon told the CIA to let the Jamaican economy "scream and cry uncle? US destroy any government that puts the citizens' interest before multi national corporatoins' profits
The people who left were the elites who were trying to protect their status and money or those who were wannabe elites. Right now its the poor running to look oppertunity in the face of " PROSPERITY". Which is worst my friend?
@@leetaylor4851 Jamaica would not have been like this economically and socially if the JLP, CIA and Seaga did not destroy the opportunity for social changes that would not have concentrated the wealth of the country in the hands of a miniscule percentage of the population.
You are one of the brain wash person,Michael Manley greatness is unmatched by any political leaders of our time,people leave because of propaganda,ask yourself this question,how do we allow someone who want to be the prime minister of our country with the backing of America to pay the food merchant of our country to hold onto the food that they have stocked in there warehouses,and create a food insecurity on our nation and let the use a slogan saying its only saltfish and cornmeal we can get from shop and the day after election run the place was flooded with rice flower? Just think if we weren't thinking of just our belly,see the same thing again with Andrew Hollness,is short sighted people like you who'll always sell there own people for fools gold, just remember it was under Manley government Singapore came to Jamaica and do a feasibility study on Jamaican economy and use our model to kick start there economy and look where they are now, while we are still like the greedy dog 🐕 that sees the reflection of the bone it the water and think it was bigger than the one in its mouth. Never a truer word from the great Marcus Garvey that the blackman will never know himself until his back is against the wall.
Micheal is the PM that we ago use fi define PM because no one will never come near mi don’t have to ask Christ that MICHEAL is GOAT greatest of all times
